Accompaniment

Description

This is a delicious vegetarian roast which is great with all the usual trimmings (roast potatoes, parsnips, veg). And everything goes into the roasting dish raw - no precooking.

Method

1
Make the bread into breadcrumbs in a blender. Put into a roomy bowl with all the dry ingredients. Mix together thoroughly. Season well. Add the wet ingredients and mix well. The consistency should be "dollopy" - not too runny, not too dry. Place in greased baking dish (nice earthenware if possible) and put into medium oven for about an hour, or until golden brown on top, and fully hot in the middle (test with skewer). Serve with a tomato sauce: fry onion, root veg, bayleaf, allspice, 2 tins tomatoes, carrots; bring to boil, cook, blend, add lemon, worcestershire sauce, natural yoghurt. Serve in heated jug. Have lots of cranberry sauce or redcurrant jelly ready too.
